Description

In the project I'm working on, we have set up to have one dead-letter queue for each queue. In the web console of the AMQ 5.3.0 instance that was running up until recently (we upgraded to 5.7.0), there was a link for "retry" in both the overview of a queue and the overview of a message. What this did was to move the message to its intended destination, for retrying failed messages that wound up in a dead-letter queue.

I could not see this feature in AMQ 5.7.0, and after a bit of investigation, it turned out that this was added by the people who set up AMQ 5.3.0.

In my opinion this is a really nice thing to have, specially if you have a large number of queues. Going through the list of queues and finding the correct one to move to for each failed message is a lot more work than just clicking a retry-button.

I'll attach my tweaked versions of browse.jsp and message.jsp, containing the retry button. If you decide to take it in, it should be generalized a little (right now the prefixes we set up to use for dead-letter queues and topics are hard-coded). There are also a few minor tweaks, most notably one that makes sure that the whole queue name is showing in the dropdown for selecting a queue to move/copy to (having ~80 queues, most with the same prefix in their name, gave only the four last letters of the queue name to identify it by when it was shortened, impossible to work with..)
